Mrs. Hannah T. Macomber, who died in this
city, March 2. 1887. at the advanced age of rs
years and upwards, was born in Ellsworth, Dec

Alfred Lang,lon. Her fathers family of bich

and five daughters. Miss Hannah T. Langdon.
the subject Of this sketch, married, when a
young woman. John c. Macomber, who died,
we think, in 1880. Mrs. Macomber had often
expressed the wish that when she died her
children might all be present and this wish was
not denied her, her four children. consisting
Of three sons and one daughter, being all pres
ent. the daughter, Miss Sarah W. Macomber,
coming from Boston and reaching home in
season to administer to the last wants Of her
aged mother.
The Illness OF Mrs. Macomber was very
brief one, lasting only q few days. We I'M
derstaDd that her disease was pneumonia.
OF Mrs. Macomber's life and character we
hear nothing but good reports. During all the
long years of her married life she labored with
untiring assiduity to discharge well ana faith
fully the high and holy duties incumbent on her
As wife, mother, neigbbor and friend. BY the
community in which she lived she was held
in high esteem as was manifested by the kind
ly offices of love and sympathy performed by
her ncighbors and fellow-citizens during her
sickness and in those last sad acts made neces-
.ary by her death.
'.She was always a good mother." exclaimed
one Of the sons ns he bent over the casket 10
take last look at the face lately beaming with
affection but now cold in death Always "A
good mother" How high the compliment
What host OF sterling virtues are implied in
those words. always u good mother" In
these simple words what revelations are made
OF character building, Of truths enforced,
Of self sacrifice OF love and devotion to others,
Of DAYS and nights of weary toll for the good
| Of those she loved, ALWAYS good mother! -
| Conirasted with these words in all their high
and holy import, how mean and despicable
seem the deeds Of those who have won pseudo

Sunday in the Churches
UNITARIAN CHURCH


TeXt-Acts 10: 80.
Almost every great religious system
clusters about some individual that has
been aroused by the suffering of his fellow
beings to try to seek out some method by
which they might be redeemed from that
suffering. But all religious systems have
departed from the ideas of their founders.
The external changes which have taken
place are no greater than the internal
The manner and extent of the conforma-
ton of religious systems TO their external
surroundings have often been radical and
not for the best. This is as true of the
christian as of any other religious system.
Christianity is loaded down and hindered
in its great work by many things which
are not sanctioned by the teachings of
Jesus or supported by the authority of
truth. These things degrade narrow and
weaken the influence of christianity. They
are such doctrines as are opposed to hu
man intelligence and human welfare.
The goodness and knowledge in the world
to-day have come from various sources
christianity has produced portion, but
far from all the benefits humanity enjoys
at the present time. We, in justice, ought
to acknowledge this and by doing ex
tend the brotherhood of man. True re-
ligious belief develops a character that is
true and righteous and every religion that
does this has the true means of salvation,
and is supported by divine authority. HUI
man life will be judged by its fruits of
and not by its knowledge or ignorance of
any man of any period

secure the Century numbers containing the
famous War papers, and to renew the sub
scription for the present year, this was
the first attempt made to collect funds for
the purchase of books, outside of Jealous
efforts of the originator of the library
movement, Mrs. Annie s. Downes, whose
work of soliciting contributions has been
principally among the summer boarders.
Several liberal minded persons who were
unable to attend the entertainment, kindly
sent in the admission fee of Is cents, there
by showing their interest in the cause, and
we see no reason why this example may
not be followed by many Others thus enab-
ling the committee to purchase larger and
more desirable variety of books than they
can expect to, from the small sum in hand
Dr. Lemont and his generous spirited wife
have cheerfully accommodated the library
in their crowded drug store since its birth,
excepting a few months last summer, at
the same time acting as librarians, without
any remuneration whatever, and now as
the rapidly accommodating books are taking
up far more space than can be convenient
ly spared, it is to be hoped some move
ment will be made to secure room and Ii
brarian elsewhere, in fact to "give them
rest" if no further testimonial of their free
ly given services.
The evening of March 3rd, selected
BY Miss +. F. Robinson and Mrs. Ida
Clark, for an entertainment at fremont
hall in behalf of the cemetery fund, proved
very pleasant and favorable in every way.
The lecture given gratis by the Rev. o. ii.
Fernald was listened to with deep interest
by an apprcciative audience. The theme,
manners and customs of the ancientS, "
was replete with wit and wisdom the rich
and humorous anecdotes of which the
speaker seemed to have a limitless fund to
draw upon, were well rclished by all, and
the illustration of the marriage service
made strong by 10 dollar bill, was merri-
" applauded. One point in the lecture,
however. Mr.. Fernald forgot to label As Il
joke, and for which the ladies are patiently
waiting his apology; in comparing the
modes of the sales of brides in the olden
time to the more modern methods of dis
posal, the lecturer asserted that now Ia
dies gave themselves away. often without
being asked. He should not have exposed
the fact before so many, that he allowed
has rife to pop the question" Gas of
course he could only speak from expert
ence). After the lecture a pleasing pro-
gram of music, vocal and instrumental
was carried out, ending with refreshing
lunch literally patronized.
The ladies in charge of the entertain
ment desire to extend sincere thanks to
the Rev. Mr.. Fernald for the kindness of
heart which prompted him to donate the
excellent discourse to aid the worthy OBJ
jet in view; hearty thanks are also ten

Bar HaYbor Water.

In the House Of Representatives Thursday
forenoon, the Bar Harbor Water fight was
finished, as far as the House is concerned, with
q triumphant victory for the new company
the Eden Company. Mr.. Grindle and John
C. Talbot made the fight for the Rodicks
Thursday forenoon, and for the other side were
Powers Of Houlton and Wright Of Paris. All
the forenoon the question was debated. When
the vote was taken the new company's charter
passed by a vote Of I01 to 80. In the Senate
the opinion seems to be that the decision will
also be favorable to the new company.
In the House Thursday morning the vote
was on the passage OF the charter Of the Eden,
or new company, to be eDgrossed. The fol-
